Global Patient Feedback for Aciphex
Please see our forum guidelines.
Aciphex really worked the best for me, but my insurance didn't want to cover the cost of it. My doctor said to try Pepcid with a prescription and it is working and has helped me for over a year now. I am 78 years old.

I've been taking Aciphex since it came out. Not only expensive it seems to have quit working. Then I read it can affect bone strength---after I have broken the same foot in the same place twice. I'm wondering if there is a reversal.

I was on aciphex for over a year; started taking it after I had upper GI done for chest pain. It made be very bloated with alot of presure feeling. For some reason it stopped working & I developed really bad acid refux and nausea. Plus I could not afford it even with my ins, my doctor had to supply me with samples every month. I stopped taking it and now take pepcid and feel much better. Female 37
